Pelvic pain: Although certainly not impossible Filshie clips have a long history of not causing chronic pelvic pain. Your obgyn should do a complete evaluation investigating all possible causes of pelvic pain then provide you with treatment options. Fallopian tubes are easy to remove along with the clip through laparoscopic surgery. You will have to check your surgery benefits to determine insurance coverage

Unclipped: Yes, your clips can be excised.(with or without the Fallopian tubes) Different insurers have different standards for payment, however if your MD lists the coded diagnosis as chronic pelvic pain, there may be an insurer that pays.
